"Shrimp Girl" is a notable painting by the 19th-century British-Australian artist Henry James Johnstone. The artwork, which dates back to the Victorian era, is a portrait that captures a young girl, presumably a street vendor, selling shrimps. The painting is characterized by its fine detail, vibrant colors, and the lifelike representation of the subject, which reflects Johnstone's skill in portraiture and genre painting.

Henry James Johnstone, born in 1835, was a prominent photographer and painter who achieved considerable success in both England and Australia. His work often depicted scenes of everyday life, as well as portraits that were highly regarded for their expressive detail and realism. "Shrimp Girl" is considered an important work within Johnstone's oeuvre, as it exemplifies his adeptness at capturing the character and circumstances of his subjects.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its social and historical context. It provides insight into the lives of working-class individuals during the Victorian period, particularly the role of children in the labor market. The subject of the painting, with her direct gaze and the basket of shrimps, suggests themes of innocence, hardship, and the resilience of youth.

"Shrimp Girl" is held in a public collection and has been exhibited in art galleries, contributing to the understanding of Victorian art and society. It continues to be studied by art historians and enthusiasts for its technical proficiency and its poignant reflection of the era in which it was created. The painting remains a testament to Henry James Johnstone's artistic legacy and is an important piece within the broader narrative of 19th-century British and Australian art.
